When “White Supremacy” Isn’t What You Think It Is

When most of us hear “White Supremacy,” we tend to think of the few Klansman and Neo-Nazis today, or the time of Jim Crow laws or of slavery in the past.  And we rightly oppose such.
The problem is when someone influenced by Critical Race Theory says “White Supremacy,” their definition is so broad as to encompass simply disagreeing with Leftists.  Further, opposing “White Supremacy” is actually used as a cover to promote and justify racism.
If you think I am being overwrought, examine this “Pyramid of White Supremacy” being used to teach “diversity”:

Let’s see.  If you oppose or claim reverse racism, you are about a third of the way to White Supremacist genocide.  Same for being color blind. So opposing racism is racism!

“Anti-Immigration Policies” – and we know that really means opposing illegal immigration and open borders – well that puts you two-thirds of the way to being guilty of genocide.  
Heck if you are just sick of all this racial division and politics and just want to be quiet and apolitical about it all, you too are part of the genocidal pyramid.
Oh, and a “Euro-Centric Curriculum” is about high way up the pyramid.  So if you educate about Western Civilization, that’s practically genocidal! (Have I mentioned totalitarians don't like history?)

I could go on but you get the picture: if you oppose a Leftist Critical Race Theory view of the world, you are probably a “White Supremacist”.
Now if you are thinking, “So what? It’s only loons who buy that silly pyramid,” then think again.  This ideology is being taught in schools and churches, including in the Southern Baptist Convention, which has now officially endorsed Critical Race Theory as an “analytical tool.”
I will leave aside for now the question of what should be done about this.  But at least be aware that those who talk and talk about “racism” and “White Supremacy” are probably using different definitions than you and other rational people.  Beware of the racialist division they are pushing.  And, yes, have the courage to oppose it.  It will take courage.

Trump is Right – The Squad and Their Ilk Should Go

Although President Trump’s tweets are not all wisely worded (And maybe this post isn’t either, but I’ve had enough.), he is right to say that those who hate America and push Anti-American values have no place in Congress and would do well to consider getting out of the country. “America – love it or leave it” is not racist but is instead anger at those who take advantage of our freedoms to attack our freedoms.  This is anger I share regardless of the skin color of those who so attack us and our freedoms.
The Gang of Four, recently dubbed “The Squad,” are among these.  Take Rep. Ayanna Pressley . . . please.  She is the racist, having recently said in a prominent speech at Netroots Nation:
Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a queer voice. 
So if you are in these demographics you must toe the Leftist line, or you’re not a good Black, or a good Hispanic, etc. THAT is racism and bigotry.

And then yesterday she pointedly refused to call Trump the President, instead calling him “the occupant of the White House.”  She thereby disrespects our elections and the Americans who elected Trump.  THAT is not just un-American, but anti-American.
(Have I mentioned Leftists only respect elections they win? Yes I have.)
Or take Rep. Ilhan Omar – heck, deport her as there is good reason to suspect she became became a citizen via a fake marriage, but anyway….  Yesterday, she not only repeated the lie that illegals under detention drink out of toilets, she not only repeated the lie that Trump colluded with foreign governments to rig the election among other lies, she refused to denounce Al-Qaeda.  That after earlier refusing to decry the terrorist Antifa attack on an ICE facility. Crap, that anti-semite refuses even to denounce murderous terrorism, and she and her backers bitch about Trump’s tweets??
If you give such noxious views and statements a pass because you agree with them, feel free to give that a good rethink or to get the heck of America.  You ARE un-American.  And there is a lot of the rest of the world to choose from.  If you give such noxious views and statements a pass because they come from “women of color,” YOU are racist, period.
Trump is right.  Those who hold the views of The Democrat Squad should consider improving America . . . by getting out.
Yes.  I said it.

Forced Busing Was Not a Black and White Issue

Joe Biden’s bragging about his working with segregationist Democrats brought his opposition to forced busing in the 1970’s back into the news last week.  With all the time passed and with all the agendas surrounding its history, there is far more ignorance than knowledge about forced busing.  I cannot dispel all ignorance, but I will humbly try to do my small part.  (And, yes, I guess I will be indirectly defending Biden on this although I am NO fan of him.)
It is difficult to prove a negative, but I cannot recall any elected body that willingly instituted the busing of students to far off schools into order to achieve desegregation.  With few to no exceptions, forced busing, when instituted, was done under the direction of federal court rulings.  It was one of the more noxious late 20th century episodes of federal judges acting as dictators in black robes.
And it was profoundly unpopular. Parents, many of whom chose their home to be close to a school, saw their children bused to a far off school across town.  At the same time, they saw that many of the liberals pushing forced busing sent their children to private schools.

Responses became even violent as in Jefferson County, Kentucky and South Boston.  But a more common response was upper middle class families, mostly White, fleeing to the suburbs (“White Flight’) where there was not forced busing regimes.  Others switched their kids to private schools.  Yes, some did so from racist motives, but virtually all did not want their children to be a part of this dictatorial social experiment. White Flight harmed urban school districts by weakening their tax base.  And, ironically, it usually made urban schools, as well as many cities, less multiethnic.  So much for desegregation. 
It was certainly hard to explain how putting children on long bus rides every day helped their education or why it helped the education of black children to seat them next to white children.  The latter question was asked by black opponents to busing. 
And that brings me to what is perhaps most forgotten.  Forced busing was not a white vs. black issue.  Opposition to it crossed racial lines.  I personally experienced this as a high school student myself in Dallas in the 70’s.
I lived far from my private school, and it became unfeasible for my parents to take me to school.  But the school bus did not come nearly as far south as where I lived.  So I had to get up early and take a city bus just to get to my school bus. Yes, I experienced a bit of busing myself.
Now on the city bus were mainly Black workers getting to their places of work early in the morning. I was an unusual passenger in more ways than one, but we got along very well.

One morning on the bus – I don’t remember how – the subject of forced busing came up.  I was surprised to see how much these Black workers opposed it.  They were quite vocal about it.  But their opposition made sense.  After all, some of them surely had kids bused across town, too.
But opposition to forced busing crossing ethnic lines is not something you hear much about.  Instead past opposition is assumed to be RACIST among the race baiting crowd.
It should make one wonder how much other fake history they are peddling. 

Democrat POTUS Candidates Wear “Ethically Bankrupt” T-Shirts

Well, not exactly.  But the t-shirts they wore the other day sure sent that message.
Allow me to explain.  Over the weekend, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) held his “World Famous Fish Fry,” and Democrat candidates for President came like sea gulls to a sea food dumpster.  They proudly wore “Clyburn” t-shirts, too.
The problem, ignored by the Democrat “News” Media but one I’ve noted before, is that Jim Clyburn has shared a stage with the notorious racist anti-semite Louis Farrakhan and has since refused to denounce him.
Let’s flip that.  If a Republican Congressman had shared a stage with white supremacist anti-semite David Duke and then refused to denounce him, do you think Republican candidates for President would come flocking to his fish fry?  No, Republicans would instead be getting in line to denounce him and to disassociate themselves from him.  And candidates would be recruited to primary him, too.
But not so with Democrats and Jim Clyburn. Heck, he remains the number 3 in the Democrat House leadership.
And the Democrat POTUS candidates come flocking to eat his fish and wear his t-shirts.
Face it. Democrats and their double standards are ethically bankrupt.

The Race-baiting Bigotry of Democrats Just Got Exposed

As disgusting as the photos are in Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D – that’s DEMOCRAT, CNN) medical school yearbook, to see the breath of the evil behind this episode one has to dig deeper.
First, these photos got exposed after Northam let slip that he was okay with infanticide.  In fact, one rumor has it that a fellow med school student was so disgusted with Northam’s infantcidal on-the-air statement that he/she leaked the yearbook page. That again is a rumor and unverified, but Northam’s bigoted lack of ethics appalls any doctor and anyone with any ethics.
Second, Democrats knew that Northam has a racism problem. And that even if the yearbook photo was not known in 2017 when he was elected.  Back in 2013 when Northam was running for Lt. Governor, he clearly refused to shake hands with his Black Republican opponent.  No telling what else was known by 2017 but that much was known.
Third, Democrats nonetheless decided to smear Northam’s 2017 opponent Ed Gillespie and his supporters as racists.  The “Latino Victory Fund” (Can you imagine the outcry if a “White Victory Fund” ran racebaiting political ads?) ran an infamous ad that had a white man in a pick-up truck with a confederate flag and a Gillespie bumper sticker trying to run down Hispanic kids and a Muslim girl.
So what we have here is a Democrat Party that harbors and elects known racists while at the very same time engages in vile racebaiting against opponents.
Polite words fail.  But the Democrat Party will do their best to make you think this episode is isolated and reflects on Northam only.  No. It. Does. Not.  The Democrats fooled too many Virginia voters in 2017.  Don’t let them fool you. Know your history, past and recent.  Democrats have a problem with both racism and racebaiting.

Look Who Introduced the House Resolution Against Steve King

First off, I am among those who find Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) recent comments about White supremacy and White nationalism unacceptable.  And I have said so in another public venue. 
And I am glad to see Republicans in the House acted quickly to strip him of his committee assignments.
But that makes a serious problem in politics today all the more glaring.  Those in the Democrat Party who defend or even associate themselves with racism (usually against Whites) or antisemitism get treated with kid gloves.  Heck, one such Congressman, James Clyburn (D-SC), has shared a stage with the vile racist antisemite Louis Farrakhan and has since refused to condemn him.  And Clyburn is not only a Democrat in good standing in the House; he is No. 3 in the House Democrat leadership.
And look who introduced the resolution condemning King’s remarks – James Clyburn.

Now the resolution rightly passed with almost unanimous support.  Even Steve King, to his credit, voted for it.  But James Clyburn was the wrong man to introduce it.  Once again, the Democrat Party’s double standard on racism and bigotry is glaring.
